Nothing like a very cold glass of rosé on a very warm Paris afternoon.

Paris je t'aime
I fell in love with Paris in March 2007. It was as the French say, le coup de foudre : love at first sight. As a result of that trip, my photography took another direction. Since that time I have pursued a career of sorts in photography and dreamed of returning to the City of Light. November 2008 found me strolling the streets of Paris once again. My first visit I was so overwhelmed with the incredible beauty of the city, I photographed it as a "tourist". In 2008 I returned and I looked at the city with more of a photographer's eye. I wanted to capture the unique, the small details, and oh yes - the people! This blog was started as a photo diary of that trip, but I have been most fortunate to return to the city j'adore 15 times since. Each time I leave, I wipe a tear and start planning my list for the next trip. Paris may well be a moveable feast, but I think it's best savored in person! Someone told me that once you have been to Paris, you will leave a piece of your heart. I left mine right there, but I brought home some wonderful memories. It is my pleasure to share them with you.

V, I've been under the weather for a few days.....this gives me a lift. Great pic! Thanks for the help.
How did you capture that light in the glasses ? This is a brilliant picture, I love it !
I love how you've picked up the light just in the glass. Wonderful!
Ditto on how wonderful the light hits the glasses. And is that a Vampire cape on the wine drinker? I love the silhouette.
I ad a glass of rosé last night but somehow drinking it on my couch in Austin is just not te same... Lovely photo.
Laurent and Maya,
Dumb luck
Karen,
No vampire cape. I almost didn't use the photo because of the sign that was behind her! :)
StyleSpy,
You're so right about that. B'ham isn't Paris either!
Judy,
Hope you're feeling better my friend!
Amazing photo! You are full of surprises. It's a joy to look at your photos each day.
Now THAT is my kind of afternoon. I love rose. I love rose in summer. I love rose in summer in Paris.
Ah .. lovely .. I can almost taste it, L'Chaim!
Another brilliant Virgograph - just where is this café???
What timing! Our local supermarket was having a sale on an Australian wine because they are no longer going to carry that brand (darn, it's my favorite). Everything sold out except the rosé.
Starman, hope you bought the whole lot!
Mar,
It was beside the long fountain at Sorbonne. That's all the info I can offer. You know I don't remember any street names! rue Whatever! HA
AH,
I love rosé and Paris any time of the year. Waaaaaa
V
